A Survivor: Chihuahua Puppy Shot with Arrow in Neck Is Expected to Recover

It’s HUMP DAY and a great time of the week for a Save-A-Puppy-From-Crazy-Liberals story.

A chihuahua puppy shot through the neck with an arrow in Southern California (Crazy Liberals, right?) was expected to recover after veterinarians removed the projectile, authorities said.

A woman reported to 911 that she found the wounded dog Monday in a neighborhood near Desert Hot Springs after hearing it “screaming,” Riverside County Animal Services said in a statement.

A sheriff’s deputy picked up the 4-month-old female and transferred it to an animal services officer who brought the pup to the Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms.

Veterinary staff determined that the arrow did not strike the puppy’s vital arteries and it was removed.

Animal Services Director Erin Gettis said in the statement:

For someone to willfully shoot this poor pup with an arrow is disgusting. We are shocked and we hope someone can provide us any information as to who did this.

Gettis said the agency will continue to treat the puppy and work on finding her a home.

Veterinary technician Emily Ellison said the puppy remains affectionate:

I cannot imagine why anyone would do something so terrible to such an innocent creature. It’s very sick.

A survivor! And such a cute little animal too. If only she could speak, authorities might find the source of that arrow.

Best wishes for a long life, little lady.
